farm implements, and field products as reeaimd- Another object is the provlsion of means by which the seat section may be closedby folding forwardl the seat backs, presenting a dat surface adapted to carry miscellaneous loads.

'llhese and other objects are obtained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown 1n the accompanying drawing, formmg a material part of this disclosure, and 1n which l Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a wagon made in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is an underside plan view of the same.

Figure 3, is a fragmental detail of the front'axle bracket, fifth wheel and adjacent elements.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the numeral 10 designates generally the wagon body, carrying springs 11 on which is attached a seat 12.

The frame 13, is constructed of angle irons 14 bent downwardly at about the middle and integrally connected by the longitudinal elements 15.

lliloor boards 16 and heel boards 17 are secured rigidly to the frame structure; and at the front of the body is a raised dash or foot board 18, pairs of transverse and longitudinal cross bars 19 and 20 respectively, su. porting these oor boards.

eats 21 are arranged transversely of the wagon and are secured below the floor level at opposite sides of the dropped portion of the body by angle brackets 22.

Backs 23 for th,ese seats are hingedly engaged with cO-actmg hinge elements 24 and the pins 25, and supports 26, pivoted in receptive slots 27, formed in the back, provide means for maintaining the back in normal position as shown in Figure 1, which also shows by dotted lines, the backs folded upon the seats, providing a substantially level continuous floor surface.

Secured near each end of the body, to the angle iron frame, are pairs of depending brackets each of which is provided with vshort longitudinal connecting elements 31. To the forward pair of brackets, a rectangular plate 32 is rigidly Secured and provides a fixed element for the fifth wheel 33, a pivot 34 connecting the two elements.

rThe fifth wheel 33 is provided with extending elements 35 upon which are secured the short rectangular axles 36 by a plurality of clamping cl'ps 37.

Integral with the fifth wheel and extending in forward direction, are a pair of offset elements 38 forming a forked extension adapted to engage a pole or shafts therebetween, the hole 39 providing means receptive of a clamp bolt.

A rear axle 40 extends across the body and is rigidly clamped to the rear brackets 30 by the clips 41.

Wheels 42 are rotatably engaged 0n the extending ends of the axles and are there held by the axle nuts 43.

The foregoing disclosure is to be regarded as descriptive and illustrative only, and not as restrictive or limitative of the invention, of which obviousl an embodiment may be constructed inclu ing many modifications without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims hereto ap ended.

' aving thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
